Perfectly lovely staff,…read moreluxurious but very affordable, and the most exquisite food made for a tremendous evening in the fabulous Fontana. Slightly unconvinced at the location of such a restaurant (through an archway, in a door, up a windy staircase, in another door), all initial perceptions flew out the window when we were greated by our server and referred to a lovely little table for two in a bright, airy and somewhat lavish room. It was almost like stepping into Narnia...you would never have guessed that such a lovely restaurant lay at the top of those wooden stairs. Delightful! A very reasonably priced supper menu was thrust our way and both myself and my boyfriend opted for a main course and a dessert, which cost £16.50 each (1 course is £11.50, and 3 courses are £19.50). My Penne Primavera (minus the peas) was delicious, and my other half practically swallowed his Slow Roast Pork Belly whole, it was devoured so quickly! Dessert was inevitable, and the sundae did not disappoint. Vanilla ice-cream and chocolate brownie topped with hot chocolate sauce. Absolutely heavenly! Astonishingly good value too, particularly for such well-sized portions. Fontana has hit the nail on the head, so to speak. Simple food, but used in a creative way and cooked to perfection. I've paid an awful lot more for food which was a great deal inferior, but I was absolutely delighted with every aspect of this superb restaurant.

When we found it fully booked, and hungry threatening to turn into hangry we headed up the high street. Fontana has been one of the classiest joints in Holywood for years and it has been a good while since I've been in. The last time I was in for lunch they had a really reasonable set lunch menu, and I did open my eyes a little at the prices on this one, but we were there. And very hungry! The maître d could not have been nicer, treating us like old friends (who we'd never met) and we settled to make our choices. It was pretty quiet for a Friday and we were the youngest people there by far, but once the food came I didn't really notice anything else. The steak with peppered sauce, truffle mushroom and triple cooked chips was practically flawless and for pudding, the Chocolate Orange Nemesis Cake with raspberry sorbet was one of those dishes worth going back for. OMG. OK, at £70 for two for lunch it is pretty expensive, but by golly it was good. I'll be back...after pay day. ;-)

I've walked passed Falafel on a number of occasions but never thought of going in, located on…read moreBotanic Avenue it's unassuming and less flashy than some of the neighbouring eateries but it should definitely not be ignored. It boasts a wide range of authentic middle eastern food and the bets part is that it's inexpensive! The most expensive Falafel on their menu is £4.60 with some as little as £4. When you consider that a burger from other places along the same street can be a minimum of a fiver this is outstanding value! The whole vibe of Falafel is really laid back and the staff are extremely welcoming. The decor is traditional and the large glass front means natural light beams in to the cafe. There's also a small enclosed seating area out the front. Their sweet treat look amazing, I say look as I managed to resist. In particular there was one slice of heavily iced red velvet cake that was calling my name! I would highly recommend giving Falafel a go, a nice healthy lunch time alternative!

As it was a mild day we sat outside, enjoying the hustle and bustle of St Anne's Square. I ordered off the Vegan Menu and my dining companion from the main Food Menu. We both loved the range of small plates which are named Nibbles, Flatbreads, Bites, Munches and Sides. In particular, my dishes of Lemon & Chilli Olives, Flatbread with spinach, chilli jam & spiced cauliflower and Charred Aubergine, Pomegranate & Mint Salad were moreish and flavourful. A really lovely touch is that Vegan items are clearly marked on the drinks list so I was confident my wine was indeed vegan. Dishes came out of the kitchen at slightly different times, which I always find a bit annoying, but I can forgive this small irritation as the food was outstanding. Am keenly looking forward to a return visit.

In my world there are two…read moregenres of kebabs and it depends what mood you are in I guess to which one you would want at any given moment. The first category is what i call 'a good old dirty' kebab, it consists of the type of kebab meat cheap and is cut in big long streaky lines. Most kebab places will offer this as standard. But every now and again you will come across a place like the Pharaoh that makes genuine kebabs where the meet is 'cut and diced' (thats the name of my second category). Mixed with Pharaohs house sauce, you have got yourself a mighty combination. Seriously sometime in your life you have to try one of these kebabs!!! There is lots of other good stuff too, burgers, chips etc

If I owned a Mediterranean/ falafel restaurant in Belfast right now I would be really worried,…read morebecause there's some serious competition on the scene. I've just had THE BEST falafel platter I've tasted in a very long time - in the recently opened Levantine on Callender Street. Absolutely delicious! Everything is vegetarian and there are loads of vegan dishes to choose from off a large menu consisting of platters, wraps, tagines, mezzas, soups and salads. Cannot wait to come back and try the eggplant falafel wrap, chilli and meat-free veggie balls...

The next 2 times however has been quite disappointing. 1. The ordering is a nightmare. They don't give you a number and don't remember who ordered so it's a bit of a free for all. No idea why they can't call out numbers on the receipt. Each time we go, someone is pissed about having waited too long. 2. The first time we went, we got hummus on the side of a delicious Halloumi wrap but the next time, there was no hummus and the wrap was completely devoid of any dressing and didn't have much filling at all. The lack of consistency is not appealing. If they manage to stick to consistent food and finally sort out their ordering process, this can be the best middle-eastern food in Belfast (in spite of being vegetarian!)

This place is open now about two weeks. For us it's very welcome. Up to now the choices here were…read moremostly junk food: KFC, Subway, Burger King who all sell completely rubbish coffee and industrially made over priced, processed junk food. There's pretty good coffee from Starbucks & Costa who each sell over-priced pre packed factory made food, but this new place provides freshly made good food in comfy surroundings and there's darn good Italian coffee too. The key idea here is to pick or build your own sandwich or salad from various breads, greens like lettuce, spinach, kale, rocket, then proteins which I recognise as chicken, pork, salmon; oddly there's cheeses like halloumi and feta listed on the menu under protein when these contain more fat than protein. Then dozens of choices of vegetables from avocado to olives, edamame to pineapple and a selection of fresh dressings. We had mushroom soup (€4) with crusty bread and butter added (95c) which was delicious and an artic wrap (like a soft tortilla) at €5.95 with roast chicken, lettuce, tomato and some Parmesan dressing. Again very tasty indeed. Then a cappuccino and a flat white (about €3 each). The coffees tasted great too. So all in all the bill for two was €16.65. The wifi didn't work and it seems this is a teething problem. The service was friendly too. There's an environmental aspect here as the serviettes are recycled, and soups are served in eco friendly cardboard bowl.
